Well, when I was a youngster, my father game me an empty coin book(penny) and suggested I fill it up. This was around 1961, which I began doing. I started going through everyones change until I filled it up. I collected a bunch of steel pennies that were minted during WW2, so I knew I had pennies from that era.
My collection is from 1919 to 1961.

So, I said to myself, "What the heck, let me check my pennies". To my surprise, while looking through the steel pennies, I came across one that is more bronze in color, with wear. Not in mint condition but it is a 1943D!!!

Anyway, I'll be calling the the lady in the article tomorrow. Her contact info is in the article. Could be nothing but maybe not

Me too! I might run out and buy some spinners for my truck wheels. I probably started collecting around 1956-57 and stopped in 1961. I'll have to call several collectors to find out what the protocol is. I just don't want to mail my penny to some unknown person.

franco,
take that dang penny to the "cajun pawn stars". you will find out what it's worth, make a cool million and be on tv(like all the other la personalities)! you might even get to do a "cajun dog stars" spinoff on discovery channel!!!!!
